Hi, I'm trying to using connection pooling in MonetDB (version 5) via Apache Commons-dbcp, but there is some error during the connectrion to MonetDB, message that I get from log file is as the following : Caused by: org.apache.commons.dbcp.SQLNestedException: Cannot get a connection, pool exhausted ...... Caused by: java.util.NoSuchElementException: Could not create a validated object, cause: writable mode not supported ... 64 more Can anyone show me the correct way to implement connection pooling with MonetDB ? Or it is not supported in the current release of MonetDB ? Beside, I also found that the aliased columns not recognized after "group by... order by", my SQL statement could as the following... SELECT name AS n FROM students ORDER BY name; And the error message I get was ORDER BY: no such column "name". Im very new to MonetDB, and wants to used it with Modrian OLAP for reporting purposes, I really appreciate any help in this. Thanks No virus found in this outgoing message.
